Chapter 5: The Dragon of Stars The colossal dragon hovered above the fractured Heart of the Void. Its body shimmered like a sky filled with living constellations. Thousands of stars flowed beneath its silver scales. Arin couldn't move. Couldn't breathe. The dragon's glowing eyes were fixed on him. Waiting. "Last Heir of the Void Kingdom... where is the King?" The cavern trembled with each word. Arin swallowed. "The King is dead." For a moment, the dragon simply stared. A deep sadness filled its expression. "Then the prophecy has failed." The stars along its body dimmed. Beside him, Lyra struggled to her feet. "No," she said. "The bloodline survived." The dragon's gaze shifted. Its eyes narrowed. Then it looked back at Arin. "Show me your hand." "What?" "Show me." Arin slowly extended his hand. The dragon lowered its massive head. A single star drifted from its body and landed on Arin's palm. Immediately, silver light raced through his veins. Images overwhelmed him. He saw the birth of the Void Kingdom. Ancient kings forging cities from magic and stone. He saw the first ruler standing beside the dragon. A woman wearing a crown of stars. Then he heard her name. Queen Astra. The First Monarch. The founder of the kingdom. The dragon's closest friend. And then another vision appeared. One hidden from history. A betrayal. Not by an enemy. By a king. A Void King. Generations ago, one ruler had sought forbidden power. He had opened a gateway into the Abyss Beyond. Something terrible entered the world. Something that could not die. Something called... The Hollow King. Arin awoke from the vision with a gasp. The dragon nodded. "Now you know the truth." Lyra's face turned pale. "The Hollow King was only a legend." "No." The dragon's voice thundered. "He is real." The cavern shook violently. Dust rained from above. The dragon's eyes widened. "Too late." "What do you mean?" Arin asked. The dragon looked upward. Far above them. Beyond the mountain. Beyond the castle. "He has awakened." At that exact moment, a horrifying scream echoed across the sky. A scream so powerful that the mountain itself cracked. Arin stared upward. "What was that?" The dragon did not answer immediately. When it finally spoke, fear filled its ancient voice. "One of the Seven Void Titans." Miles away, atop the ruined walls of Castle Noctis, black lightning exploded across the clouds. A gigantic hand emerged from a portal of darkness. Then another. And another. The creature pulling itself into the world was larger than any castle. Larger than any mountain. Its body was made of black crystal. Chains wrapped around its arms like prison shackles. A single crimson eye opened. The night itself seemed to recoil. Villages throughout the surrounding lands saw the monster rise. Panic spread instantly. The Void Titan had returned. Back within the cavern, the dragon spread its wings. The entire chamber glowed with starlight. "Arin, heir of Astra's bloodline." A silver crystal appeared before him. Floating. Spinning slowly. "Take the Astral Core." Arin reached for it. The moment he touched it, the crystal fused into the centre of his crown. A brilliant burst of light filled the cavern. The crown transformed. Silver markings appeared across its surface. Ancient runes glowed around the edges. The power inside him doubled. Then doubled again. Lyra stepped back in astonishment. "Arin..." The dragon nodded approvingly. "Now the crown remembers who it is." Another earth-shaking roar exploded from the distance. The Titan was moving. Closer. Every step shook the kingdom. The dragon lowered its head. "You are not strong enough to defeat it." Arin frowned. "Then what do we do?" The dragon smiled. A surprisingly warm smile. "We find the others." "The others?" "The Seven Guardians of the Void." Lyra's eyes widened. "They still exist?" The dragon nodded. "One sleeps beneath the Frozen Sea." A glowing map appeared in the air. "One hides within the City of Thieves." Another light appeared. "One serves the enemy unknowingly." Arin stared at the map. Seven points glowed across the continent. Seven allies. Seven hopes. Perhaps seven impossible challenges. The dragon folded its wings. "Gather them before the Hollow King rises completely." "And if I fail?" Arin asked. The dragon became silent. At last, it answered. "Then this world will become his kingdom." Suddenly, the map flashed red. A new presence had appeared. Arin's blood froze. One of the seven glowing points was moving. Rapidly. Straight toward Castle Noctis. Toward them. Toward the Heart of the Void. And whoever it was... They were arriving far sooner than expected. To be continued...

Arin whispered.The dragon's massive body trembled.A sight Arin never thought he would witness."She should not exist."The girl began walking across the ice.Each step left behind black flowers.Not real flowers.Shadows shaped like petals.Where they touched the frozen sea, the ice turned dark.Lifeless.Dead.Ash immediately drew her daggers.Veyr drew his sword.The Guardian of Tides raised an ocean-sized wall of water.For the first time, all three stood together.Against one enemy.The girl sighed."Oh dear."Her voice sounded almost disappointed."I do wish people would stop r
